Two summers ago, 15 young creatives were brought together by the Dublin International Film Festival to take part in the Irish Film Curators programme – a project that aimed to unite aspiring filmmakers through curatorial practice. Over the course of 3 months, we worked closely alongside one another to craft a film festival that felt personal to us. Jazz was an integral part of making the Be Kind, Rewind festival what it became.
Jazz was fun, outspoken & open. We really bonded working on the ‘Be Kind Rewind’ project. I remember the evening we spent talking to strangers to promote the festival; we laughed and giggled our way through the whole thing. We stayed in touch after the project, and even through her treatment, she managed to send me voice notes, maintaining her humour. The film world has definitely lost a special talent & character in Jazz.
Jazz was always so kind and generous with her time. No matter how many times I asked for help she was always willing to give me a call or send over a voice note - she was always willing to take time out of her day for whoever needed it. While we didn’t keep in touch after the programme, we would always show support to one another’s achievements. Her kindness helped me in ways I don’t think she ever knew - I don’t think I’d still be curating if it wasn’t for her.
Jazz’s motivation and passion for film was only surpassed by her kindness and openness to friendship. She had an ease with everyone, and was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be dearly missed.
Another significant challenge is shape recognition and arrangement. The game block blast free introduces blocks in various sizes and patterns, including squares, rectangles, L-shapes, zigzags, and long lines. Players must quickly analyze these shapes and determine where they can fit within the grid. Some blocks may seem impossible to place at first, creating stress and confusion. The challenge becomes greater when multiple irregular pieces appear consecutively. Successful players develop the ability to recognize patterns and visualize how shapes interact with one another. This mental process improves spatial intelligence, but it also creates pressure because decisions must often be made rapidly. Shape arrangement challenges encourage players to improve their logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.
The passage highlights that Jazz was more than just a talented creative in the film world. She was supportive, approachable, GeoGuessr and always willing to help others, even during her own difficult treatment. Her ability to maintain humour, encourage her peers, and celebrate others’ achievements shows remarkable strength and compassion. The writers clearly admired her positive energy and the way she made people feel valued and supported.
